Truly, genuinely thrilled that the #Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (#DFL) party has used their bare majority to do Good Things (much more so than Massachusetts, New York, or California have with supermajorities).

But i wonder why even when being bold so much was funded with #regressive #taxes (sales) rather than progressive (income or property)? #uspol

Italy moves to ban lab-grown meat to protect food heritage

Italy's government has backed a bill that would ban lab-grown meat and other synthetic foods.

The plans, which highlight Italian food and heritage and health protection, would mean that breaking the ban would land fines of up to €60,000 (£53,000) ($65,500)

Francesco Lollobrigida, who runs the rebranded ministry for agriculture and food sovereignty, spoke of the importance of Italy's food tradition.

Farming groups have praised the move, but animal welfare groups say lab-produced meat is an "ethical alternative" that did not harm animal welfare, environmental sustainability or food safety.

Bush, which also considered the sales tax reform, found that people making between $15,000 and $200,000 a year would see their taxes increase under the plan, while people making more than $200,000 a year would see their share of the national tax burden decrease by 7.6 percentage points." #FairTax #regressive

@csgordon @volkris @Npars01 @stopgopfox

Yeah, this form of tax is by no means "designed to help the poor." Literally everyone knows, has known, has known for decades, this form of taxation is a wildly #regressive tax. Anyone claiming otherwise is baldly disingenuous.*

*And probably Libertarian 🙄

@gabrielarana @TexasObserver I noticed they propose to give more money to offset property taxes, which in effect helps the wealthy also. I support a more long-term fix by shifting the way property taxes are assessed. To be fair and progressive taxes should be assessed on purchase price and not market value. This will stop my family from being gentrified out of our Austin neighborhood. #propertytaxes #regressive #gentrification

It's fascinating how #regressive/#conservative folks will deny any responsibility for what "Ye" said despite having fostered & enabled it for years upon years.

“In the past, she says, "I have fully been told, 'If you just like do yourself a favour, and don’t go out holding your girlfriend’s hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie.'" She looks almost amused at the memory. "I don’t want to work with people like that."”
